Happy Friday the 13th!


Today is Friday the 13th. 
There are several beliefs, better termed superstitions, that bog people and make them skeptical about this date/day. There are several theories about their origins as well. I came to know just today that there is a specific term for the fear o0f Friday the 13th....... it's called triskaidekaphobia or paraskevidekatriaphobia....... quite a tongue twister the latter one!
I had seen the cult slasher movie 'Friday the 13th' years ago, and I just remember it for some of the genuinely chilling scenes of blood and gore, and for a very young Kevin Bacon who starred in it.
Happy Friday the 13th! No need to feel the shivers in the extremes.
Just enjoy the goofiness of the slasher flicks or the horror fest by means of umpteen specials on telly........ and do not feel spooked, come what may!
